    Summary

    -updates frequently!-
    Damon hadn’t seen another living person in two days.

    Not one that wasn’t rotting, anyway.

    The Interstate stretched endlessly before him, sun-bleached and cracked like the back of some ancient beast. Every mile east pulled him closer to what should be home—closer to something that might still resemble safety, family, or even a memory worth keeping. But right now, it was just him, a worn-out backpack, a blood-smeared hatchet, and the guttural groans that echoed behind every half-wrecked car he passed.

    He didn’t stop for much anymore. Not for gas stations. Not for food unless he was starving. Definitely not for sounds. He had learned all of this the hard way these past few weeks.

    Which is why he almost kept walking when he heard it: a shrill, human scream. Just one. Sharp and cracking at the edges like it didn’t even believe it deserved to be loud.

    His feet paused anyway. Goddammit.

    Damon exhaled through his teeth, gripped the hatchet tighter, and stepped off the road toward the noise.

    Summary

    "No, I'm not particularly offended by the term... 'white boy'," Damon responds. Eva seems to be formulating a response, irritation burgeoning, but it dies in her throat at his next words. "It's just factually inaccurate. I'm not white."

    For what is not the first time, and certainly won't be the last, Eva stares at him like he's grown a third head.

    "You're not white," she says, like she's had her world shattered.

    Damon finds himself a class outcast even without the killing game—but at least he and his only friend in the class can bond over their shared isolation. (Un)Fortunately, however, as more and more people find out about the weekly meetings of the esteemed W.I.A., Damon comes to realize he and Eva won't be spending their time at this academy as loners, after all.

    Summary

    “‘Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions’,” Angel intoned. “‘It is the opium of the people’.”

    Valentino perked up, craning over Angel’s shoulder to peer at the page. “Opium?”

    Vox almost screamed. “NO. No opium. There is no opium. Angel, go home.

    Angel snickered, shutting the book. “Alright, big boss. See ya tomorrow, Val.” He gave Val a lingering kiss before hopping to his feet and sauntering out.

    As soon as the door clicked shut, Vox whirled on Val. “I spent all day trapped in my office, filling out anger management worksheets with the princess of Hell, and you’re down here letting that whore read you Marxist bedtime stories?!”

    Or: Charlie unionizes Voxtek, the fic.

    Summary

    The thing about wagers is that sometimes—only sometimes!—you lose.

    And Kayne is totally fine with that. Really. Really really. That’s the name of the game, baby, and if you put maybe thirty or so odd years into winning a particular wager that would have made you a god of gods and maybe finally scratched that itch inside of you, and then lose it, well, that’s just too bad.

    Good thing Kayne, as always, has a plan.

    Summary

    “Well, boys,” says John Lee Pettimore. His voice is tiny and far away. He must be shouting for Jon to hear him. “Looks like we’re not in Kansas any more.”

    “I don’t think,” Jon says, slow and labored, “we’ve been in Kansas for a long time.”

    John says, What are you two FUCKING talking about?

     

    Trapped in a strange place with even stranger people, Jonathon Sims doesn’t know where to turn. Arthur Lester craves absolution he won’t let himself earn. Keith Vigna learns what it’s like to burn. And beneath them all, ITS CLOUDED DEPTHS churn.

    Summary

    I think I know too much. I think… I think I’ve been here before. I think I remember being here before.

    “I’ll see you soon.”

    The words slip unbidden from your mouth, almost involuntarily. You open your eyes to see the princess nod and raise the knife.

    “Hey. I love you.”

    Then, all too clearly, you have a terrible realization. For this to work, you have to believe that she can make you forget. And you don’t, if your bleeding memory is any indication. You don’t believe anymore.

    But you don’t have time to contemplate the consequences of that realization. There’s an agonizingly familiar, piercing pain in your chest; then everything goes dark, and you die.

    Summary

    When an estranged friend offers him a place to stay, Jean soon realises that his new home is haunted by a demonic secret. Under the thin veneer of civility lies fear, violence and treachery, and it threatens to boil over unless Jean and the others can unmask the murderers in their midst. Still, as a Defect, he’s worth more dead than alive. The threat of invasion is looming on the horizon. A single misplaced lie could unravel the well-laid plans of his fellow townspeople.

    What’s a Mutant to do when telling the truth is tantamount to his own destruction?

    Summary

    A too-wide grin stretched over Saito's face like a knife as he gripped Date's hair to face himself. The evolver clicked over his pulse and the air felt still, too stiff. Date's vision swam and his stomach churned, the sedative from the psync was strong, whatever type it was. It was overwhelming, the ringing bursting his ears like fireworks, the sharp pain in his left eye socket causing headaches. He squeezed his eye shut.

    The pale hand (that used to be his own) gripped tighter and Date gasped as his eye shot open against his will to meet a wide, feral one.

    "Come to Atami with me."

    Summary

    When Ouma woke up, his first thought was: 'I need to get out of here'.

    It was stupid, getting knocked out with some dirty sneak attack from a fake aikido master, being tied up with his tools taken away from him and locked inside the room with none other than the annoying Momota Kaito… it just irritated him to the core. He still has a lot of places to investigate and a lot of secrets to uncover. His time was precious, no one can tell who or when the next person was going to snap and commit their own murder. He was still worried about Harukawa who’s walking about outside, and the people actively ignoring how much of a danger she’s posing to the group… 'Idiots. They’re all idiots. It’s all up to me now. I don’t have time for this crap.'

    And yet, he was still here, In this stupid Love Hotel. With stupid Momota-chan. Locked in by a stupid cult.

    AKA. Killing Game AU. Ouma and Momota gets trapped in the Love Hotel by the Student Council, forced to get along.

    There are phone calls, the first few days, until the phone dies a scant three feet from its charger. Knocks sound at the door after that, paired with voices calling tentatively through the cracks. These too leave him alone, in the end. Simon sits in the dark of his kitchen at the table with his eyes closed, miserably at peace.

    Then Athena breaks the window.
